Xanax Urine

Updated

Xanax is one of the shortest acting bezos there is, if not the shortest. So please stop saying its in your system for more then a week; it is highly unlikely it would show up after a week. Other bezos; like valium, yes, it can show up for weeks, or month if you are a chronic user. So dont look at a chart and say oh benzos are detectable for 1-6 weeks; It makes a difference on what you take; xanax should be out fairly quick; in my experience, I would like to give it a week; but I have passed in the 48-72hr range; just don't push it.

Standard scientific testing shows that all Benzodiazepines can be detected in urine tests for as long as 6 weeks, after last use.

The precise time frame may vary from person to person, depending on certain individuating factors, such as someone's metabolism, overall health, fluid intake, activity levels and etc.

However, that does not change that fact that it can be detected for up to 6 weeks in urine.

When you say it is one of the shortest acting Benzodiazepines, what you are referring to is the half-life, which is the time it takes for the drug to be eliminated from having its actual effects in the body and that is quite different from the time it can be detected.

There are reasons that when someone die, their body can be exhumed years later and some drugs still detected in testing.

You're talking about 2 different types of things here, so the posts saying it can be detected for weeks are correct.

Are there any other questions or comments?

The bezo people are discussing is xanax; not valium, not clonazepam or any of those. Xanax will never, ever, ever, ever, show up in your system for even close to 6 weeks. I would say 5 day max, no matter how much, or how long you have been on it. Like I said, valium and some other long acting ones could show up for 6 weeks or so, BUT NOT XANAX. Dont tell people XANAX will, because it wont. THE TOPIC IS ABOUT XANAX. Im not yelling Im emphasizing the point. I just passed a drug test last week; and I stayed clean from xanax for 5 days, and passed. I get tested every 2 weeks...

Well, I think part of the reason drugs may be detected in a corpse, is because there is nothing going on in the body filtration wise; so of course you would probably be able to find trace amounts, their is nothing to flush it out; the body is dead.

U r right. I looked at the FDA chart awhile back for this and Xanax is the shortest half life, is six to twelve hours. Valium was two to six weeks. Klonipin was about same as Valium.. Thanks for getting that straight.

I have been on .5 zanax for about 3 yrs...a whole one seems to be a little much so i break mine in half which would make it .25 mg. I take .25 mg every single night before bed time. Last Dr visit , they done a urine test , Dr calls me in about a week and tells me it did not show up in my urine test . I was very upset over this due to the fact that i dont miss a night taking my zanax. How could this be , i felt like i was being accused of not taking my meds. I am a Female, 58 yrs old going through menopause, is their an explanation for this medicine not showing up in my urine when i have taken it every night for 3 yrs,, could it be cause i am breaking it in half, taking half the dosage i am prescribed ?

Are you sure ? I took an amount of 5 bars last week, last day Sunday. I had a surprise test today and came out positive. I have court Tuesday and I'm sure they will test me again.

Presto is right. ..xanax does have a short half life. ... and valuim has the longest half life of all the benzos....xanax will be out ina week... maybe longer if your a cronic user... but valuim aka diazipen...I probably spelled that wrong can be found in your urine up to one month later

I hope Presto is right. I suffer from an anxiety disorder I took 4 1.0mgs in a course of a week. This occurred about a month before my pee test. I'm a serious weight lifter and I hope I pass. Its for a really good job

For your info. You are absolutely wrong about benzo's. The do,can , and will remain in your system for a very long time especially if you take them everyday. Xanax does have a short half-life. Half-life means in laments term's, how long you will feel the effect's of the benzo. Not how long or how short it will remain in you're system. I was taking 6 mgs per day for 3 years and tapered off xanax and didn't take anymore for 3 month's, went to take a drug test for a job and failed the drug test. " GUESS WHAT WAS IN MY URINE??!!!...YEP!...XANAX!!!!... Benzos are very long living in the body if takin on a daily basis. Please, I can tell u got a temper so let's be grownup's about this. I don't wish to offend you. If I did, I'm truely sorry. I really am..I didn't get this info from just experience, my wife has been a nurse for 20 years. Thankyou.

Hey man, that's you as an individual. And to be fair, most people will be clear in 5 days. Im one of the uncommon cases. I've tested positive for xanax 19 days after dosing 4mg.

On the 25th I stopped taking 4mgs of Xanax a day, cold turkey. Within 6 days of my last use I was forced to take A urinalysis. After 6 days of doing nothing but vitamin B,drinking water and anti-oxidants, I was able to get the xanax broken down to untraceable results. I'm 5ft8 225lbs (athletic), so it breaks the theory that only slender ppl can shake these. That said, It might slightly vary from person to person, but I can't see how someone would have 1 dose last month's. It's ludicrous to believe!

I replied on this topic last year, you should read what I said there.. I was taking 4mg Xanax/Day for 3 years, and quit them all cold turkey on A Thursday night.. I had A urinalysis the following Thursday Morning, and had no problems passing the test.. Now, everyone is different obviously, but if you keep yourself pretty hydrated, you should be able to shake them out of your system within 7 days..

i took 1 bar of xanax and 2 clonzepam and 3 weeks later took a urine test that is sent off (not the pass fail type where they know on the spot) and they knew exactly what and when i had taken it. was nearly kicked out of the suboxone clinic.
